Petrobras' Argentine profit rises



By Upstream staff 

The Argentine arm of Brazilian state-run Petrobras reported a higher first-quarter net profit of 192 million pesos ($60.2 million).

Petrobras Energia Participaciones last year's first-quarter net profit was 182 million pesos, the company said in a statement to the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange.

The net profit came in above market expectations, said Reuters.

A Reuters poll of five analysts had put the company's net profit at a median of 185 million pesos, with estimates ranging from 184 million to 195 million.
